Bilateral Ocular Decompression Retinopathy after Ahmed Valve Implantation for Uveitic Glaucoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
CASE REPORT We report the case of a 29-year-old man who underwent Ahmed valve implantation in both eyes as treatment for uveitic glaucoma, subsequently presenting with bilateral ocular decompression retinopathy in the postoperative period. DISCUSSION Ocular decompression retinopathy is a rare complication of filtering surgery in patients with glaucoma; however, the course is benign in most cases, with spontaneous resolution of bleedings and improvement of visual acuity.

BACKGROUND Ocular manifestations of the dengue fever virus include bilateral panuveitis that can occur after the acute systemic infection has resolved. In most reported cases, the inflammation resolves with topical or systemic steroid therapy. We report a case of chronic, refractory bilateral panuveitis and uveitic glaucoma that began during the acute phase of the systemic infection and require...

INTRODUCTION Glaucoma is a known complication of uveitis, and may require glaucoma tube shunt implantation for intraocular pressure (IOP) control. The success of glaucoma tube shunt implantation in the setting of a local ocular steroid depot in uveitic glaucoma remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients who underwent combined glaucoma tube shunt (Ahmed) and flu...

PURPOSE To assess long-term efficacy and safety of deep sclerectomy (DS) in uveitic glaucoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-three consecutive eyes (21 patients) with uveitic glaucoma underwent DS with mitomycin C and implant. Goniopuncture (GP) was done for uncontrolled postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). RESULTS Mean (± SD) follow-up was 33.2 (± 19.8) months. IOP was reduced from a mea...
